SE 2050 was developed and is managed by a dedicated group of volunteers. All members of the team are members of the SE 2050 subcommittee of the SEI Sustainability Committee and bring each a unique perspective and level of expertise to SE 2050. The team is broken down into subgroups managed by a subgroup leader and the Leadership Group. The different subgroup areas of focus are:
SE 2050 Commitment Program Team
Leadership Group
The Leadership Group comprises leaders of each subgroup, including the positions of Chair, Vice-Chair, and Secretary. The Leadership Group is responsible for managing all aspects of the Commitment Program, including liaising with SEI leadership. All committee members have an opportunity to become a part of the Leadership Group through their active contributions to the SE 2050 Commitment Program.
